I finally reinstalled the titanium header wrap on my intake tube. Not sure if it will lower iat’s but it looks good. Kinda hard to get it to wrap right with the barbed vacuum fitting on the bottom but I tried.

In case anybody is looking to do the GMT900 front brake upgrade, I have 2 sets of calipers for sale.

Nice detailing pics. I really want to pull the trigger on some 305's but just dont know. Not sure on the fender gap. These are 285-45-22's and are .5 inch taller than 305's.

Took me about a week but I just got through this whole build thread. You have an amazing rig Rocket, definitely convinced me that I need a supercharger. And major respect for doing all of this in your driveway

The hatch paint came out better but it’s still a bit too dark. I didn’t paint the appliqués because I used more than a full can of paint on the hatch surround so there isn’t enough. I’m gonna leave it for now and if I do anything else it will be to have my painter match everything up. I think it’s the only way. I could see myself spending more money for supplies to paint the appliqués and then they would be too dark too. I did change the handle to black so it blends in with the glass.

Not sure how I feel about the upper plastic trim piece... lol I know it’s a factory piece it just doesn’t look like it fits to me... I don’t know why either....
either way I think the paint on it looks good though! @Rocket Man your paint skills are on point! Lol

Been a while since I was on this post. I asked questions when i had my 05 Denali Xl a few years back, now I have a pewter 04 so had to revisit. You have so many upgrades it's insane. Thanks for the motivation.
